Sturdy can crusher v2
Print Profile(1)

Description
This is an updated version of the Sturdy can crusher based on feedback in comments and my own user experience.
What is new:
- Made it taller to allow crushing of sleek cans
- Added chamfers to holes, bottom and top to avoid cutting edges
- Got rid of two of four holes to allow more sturdiness. They were not needed.
Fusion and STEP files included to allow you to modify it easily.
[WARNING1]
I usually hold the holder with other fingers while I push the can walls through the holes. Otherwise it can rotate and get your fingers in. See this comment from a make:
Encountered an interesting issue. Pushed in can sides using the holes provided. Unfortunately the can split and my finger was trapped inside the can as a result. The sides of the can closed around my finger preventing it's removal. Eventually extricated without serious damage. Would suggest care as a "kneejerk" reaction to this event could result in a deep cut.
[WARNING2]
One user reported that it is hard for him to push the crusher down (majority of users seem to do well). I usually give it a sharp hit first, and then I push it with both hands, putting as much of my weight into it as I can, and it works fine (no need to use your feet or stand on it).
[UPDATE 28/8/25: Following the first warning feedback, I added a chamfer to the edges inside the holes to prevent any damage to your fingers]
